Two more classics hit the arcade this week….Fatl Fury and Streets of Rage 2. Classics are ok and all be we seem to be on a trend of late. I would like to see a lot more new content coming to Xbox Live. I do believe that was the original intent….remember skater girl selling a new track on the web for 25 gamer points…that has not happened yet. I want that….I don’t know this skater girl…but I just might want to buy from her….with out further ado…this weeks releases.
